This is some serious bullshit
So much European taxpayer money wasted on a fleet of pedophile protectors. Stop welcoming them here.
That first one was weighed down like crazy.
Second one was super light on suspension.
I’m assuming the first one was armoured then but why have the principal in the first car?
Maybe they have multiple ones armoured.
He’s there in Italy and don’t even use the time to try some proper car.
Meanwhile the pope was okay with a Fiat 500
Partisans used to put ieds on delays in the middle of roads, usually hidden in cowpats. Why delays? that way they would be triggered by the first vehicle - usually security - but the second car - usually full of the nazi brass - would be the ones that copped the blast.

“Jesus, these Italians oughtta do something about this shitfuck traffic.”
“Sir, the motorcade is quite literally 100% of the traffic in the city.”
“It’s only 40 cars, why can’t they build us a 40 lane road? Is this not a first world Christian nation?”
Wait. Are these motorcades just staged and ready in every country they might visit? Or do they fly the vehicles ahead of them?
They are flown ahead of the visit. I’m sure there are multiple fleets and perhaps a few doted around the country for frequent visits at NY, camp David or maralargo. But for other countries it’s a fly in and fly out.

Nah, they’re just scared. Their whole system runs on fear.
One IED and that fuck is gone.
I see you there wanting me to upvote this, but I won’t because reddit banned me for much less
This ain’t Reddit
This isn’t reddit and I wish JD vance and his cronies a happy IED eating
I haven’t heard of lemmus, but if they ban you for that you just need to find a different instance!
May we ask some of what you were banned for? Just voting or comments? I always drop accounts after a 2nd violation so I don’t get permabanned but want to quit completely as their violations are usually not against the rules, and often I think for other reasons, dishonest.

I’m sure the other 39 cars will be a lot of help.
You wouldn’t even need to bother with the bomb, just shoot him when he gets out of the car his smug face is a pretty big target.
I bet italian people feel so honored by his visit
Italy is run by a Fascist party, and Fascism is doing well.
That was just over a year ago.
Italian People = Facist?
well US people = Facist?
Boooooooooooooooooooo
Boooooo!!! Go back to your couch!!!
Gee they sure are scared. Wonder why? Aren’t they the good guys doing good things around the world to help people and uphold justice and international law and ot kt otowom etenec, I e jo2okt to hh6bhbdm:h;hi$$+!!

LemmyBruceLeeMarvin was never seen again
Supposedly he brought his own food with him to Italy. Why would anyone bring American food to fucking Italy
That’s probably some Secret Service thing, because the threat of poisoning is actually real. In America, the Secret Service goes to great lengths to vet potential restaurant stops wherever the POTUS/VP is going to be. But they don’t exactly have jurisdiction to do that when they’re in another country.
Notably, Trump’s love of fast food has made the Secret Service’s job extremely frustrating… He apparently has a tendency to just spontaneously demand a drive-thru stop, giving the Secret Service no time to actually run security checks on the staff ahead of time.
Yeah but that means those fast food places don’t have a chance to prep the poison, either🧠🧠
Fast food is pretty much poison tbf.
Poison probably not, but there a lot they could do tonthe food.
I wonder how much piss, shit, and semen Trump eats on a regular basis from these spontaneous McDonald’s stops. 🤔
about the same as others who eat there.
I doubt he eats that much of the fast food himself, and that it’s more of a public image thing, he wants to look like he’s eating it.
the olive garden breadsticks are FREE
Because he thinks someone will try to poison him. The Stalinist paranoia has set in.
Is it really paranoia if its a very credible realistic fear?
fearhope
Like father, like son. Part of why Trump eats so shitty is the same fear.
Btw, did test-eating ever truly help? Only a small part of the potato salad can be poisoned…
From a security perspective, these only serve to create an extensive roadblock - and a traffic jam as seen at the end. Disable one in front, one in rear, and you’ve got them kettled. Plus, as you can see, it’s a very slow moving convoy. A dozen bike cops and two cars (Couchfucker + security detail) would be sufficient.
Whoever came up with this idea should be fired.

Neo has a really good video on the presidential motorcade and how it works. It is completely absurd in a place like Milan, certainly, but every part of it is there for a reason.
One size doesn’t fit all.
Moreover, the president is getting the treatment of a king. They are ostensibly fungible assets. There’s a succession plan. The more they’re protected, the more they’re a target (and invading foreign countries doesn’t help).
One size doesn’t fit all.
I agree, which is why I said using the motorcade in Milan is absurd. 🙂
and looking at their license plates, around half of them have US ones, which means those cars were probably flown in. or do they have a standing motorcade for Europe? I saw one car had german plates…
They fly them in a few days in advance.
That was a very interesting video, thanks for the share
It’s all performance
He’s sooo much more important than you.
That really really looks dumb though.

Loads RPG
the secret service wants to know your location.
I had the same impulse when seeing that convoy. I think there should be enough stuff from the war in ex-yugoslavia floating around, and with the current political climate there shouldn’t be an issue finding 50-100 people to place on rooftops.
I guess from a security perspective it also helps to obfuscate Vance’s whereabouts. It’s difficult to know which one of the 40 vehicles he’s actually in.
the one with the softest leather…
Obfuscation is part of the motorcade, but not to the extent you would think. The motorcade has two presidential limos, and the POTUS is typically put in one while the VP is put in the other. Or in this case, the second limo would simply be empty. The order of the limos is random. The idea being that if you manage to bomb one limo, you’d only get either the VP or POTUS, and you’d have no way of knowing which one you got until after the fact. And that’s assuming the bomb is even effective, because the presidential limos have RPG-proof windows and heavy armored plating underneath the body panels.
Most of the motorcade is focused on things like landmine detection, biological weapon detection, chemical weapon detection, standby security forces in case they need to fan out/circle the wagons and create a secure perimeter, on-site medical staff, monitoring local radio chatter, jamming equipment to activate in case of an attack, etc…
That’s very interesting. Thanks for the info
You’re right. Only the first two vehicles show signs of armouring. I don’t think that all this theatrics would happen and then not put the cargo in the armoured car. But I’m not an expert, just a critic
While this is going on, Vance actually travels by subway, donning sunglasses and fake mustache and beard.
He’s in one of two cars, they’re easily identifiable. The rest are various security assets. Armed dudes, jamming suites, surveillance, etc.
It’s them applying the same strat as in the US even though they are in Milan and the roads are twice as narrow.
I suppose they think there is so many cars it would be hard to know in which the couch fucker is. But still you are correct to say that convoy could be easily completely blocked. And in that case you could have an army to defend it it would be a very bad situation.
Or given a raise if something happened.
Unless you are not in America, being surprise at the incompetence and stupidity of these fuckers in power is unacceptable.
His charade parade likely cost an American figure skater a gold medal. The traffic jam his ego created delayed her arrival to the venue so much she had to skip her entire warmup.
